Jennifer Piper is a multidisciplinary, cross-media storyteller whose award-winning writing includes plays, cabaret, essays, radio, series and film.

2021 films The Golden Rollers and Fine Bone China continue to be well-received by audiences and industry, with The Golden Rollers closing out Revelation International Film Festival 2022. POND, a scientifically-correct allegorical music video, featuring renowned astrophysicist Dr Linqing Wen and depicting the theory of binary coalescence, was released in celebration of the 7th anniversary of the discovery of gravitational waves.

In 2022, JP was one of four AIDC Leading Lights invited to pitch a factual project. The factual format series Old Enough To Know Better is currently in development.

JP’s plays A Scandal in the Weimar and That Time Everything Went Well And We Were Totally Fine are available via Australian Plays Online, and the cabaret At Home with Anne Zieté was shortlisted for the 2021 Midsumma Festival Queer Playwriting Award.

JP created ‘The Representation Hour’ for Triple Bi-Pass on JOYFM, investigating and celebrating queer representation in popular culture. JP’s essay on the queerness of the vampire narrative ‘Undyingly Queer’ will appear in Queering the Vampire Narrative later this year, published by Brill Sense.
